I did not know Bruce professionally, but with nearly 40 years at United Inflight, we traded many aviation tales. His humor was an absolute delight. The last dinner we shared, my Doberman was laying under the table at his feet. Bruce went on mischievously noting how much he thought my dog liked him; really, really, liked him, possibly even more than me. 😄I knew he was feeding him under the table! We will miss him very much. Thank you for the laughs, Bruce. Rest in peace, my friend.

Bruce's  knowledge and insight combining  business, technology, and people  was unique. In developing ideas, strategies, and commercialization, I  will continue to evaluate original ideas through a "what would Bruce say" filter. Just wish we could still do it in person.  From ambulance to aerospace, syringe to cybersecurity, here's to three decades of collaboration, Bruce.

Bruce was a great friend. He lived to be innovative and was highly skilled in aviation cyber security and influential to many new people in the field. He loved orchids, and that is where we connected.  We shared many great conversations discussing the future of space flight, growing plants in space, and how life is still such a mystery. Bruce you will be deeply missed.

It is a great loss he was an extraordinary man with a plethora of knowledge and amazing stories.  I was fortunate when I came to Seattle  that he gave us a tour of the Museum of flight and told us stories about the planes that were not included in the museum. I will be eating an In and Out burger in his honor as I know he really enjoyed them. He will be greatly missed I always enjoyed my conversations with him personal and professional. May he fly with the angels in heaven.

There will be a Memorial Zoom Gathering for Bruce on

Brilliant, extraordinarily generous, the epitome of a gentleman, and one of the loveliest people I've ever known.

His friendship was a gift and his passing a profound loss.

May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest, dearest Bruce. My memories of you will always be a blessing.

Bruce was a mentor, advisor, friend, and most importantly, the most well informed human being about airplanes and cybersecurity I have ever met. Can’t believe I was fortunate enough to have you on daily calls for three years straight during our years at NASA. Thank you for teaching me how to be the brightest shining star in the room. 

Bruce was always there for me with insight and advice.  I will miss him greatly.

Just began working with Bruce a year ago. He had a vast amount of knowledge and was always willing to share and help me. 
He will be greatly missed.
Prayers to all family and friends!

Deepest regrets to hear of Bruce's passing. He provided a lot of insight toward Gateway design considerations for cyber.

Bruce has been a wonderful friend and colleague with whom I have shared our mutual fascination and love of all things Aviation. His friendship, off-center wit and insight I shall miss dearly. Rest well my friend. Condolences to your family and friends.
